The big ship sailed at sea for more than ten days, and the adults were worried that the two children would get seasick, but fortunately, they slowly recovered after vomiting a few times. Xiao Yuan is especially spiritual, either to see seabirds today, or to go fishing tomorrow, Xiao Yao always quietly looks at the scenery alone, listening to the sound of "whooshing" water in her ears, thinking about her grandfather, mother, and family......

The fish cooked by the boat lady is particularly delicious, and Xiao Yao will observe how she cooks and cooks fish when she has free time. That boat lady is also strange, every time Xiao Yao goes to observe, she either puts less salt or adds more soup.

"You mother-in-law, cooking has become more and more unpalatable lately, do you still want to make money for your son to marry a daughter-in-law." A dark-skinned man reprimanded the shipwreck with a dissatisfied expression.

"I don't know what's wrong, as soon as that little fairy-like young lady came, my hands were a little disobedient." The boat lady rubbed her hands back and forth on her apron, her head hanging low, lest she displease the man.

Xiying, who went to the cabin to boil water, happened to hear the conversation between their husband and wife, and when she saw that everyone was there, Xiying said with a smile: "Miss, have you learned your craft now?" ”

"I don't know, I haven't actually done it yet, I'm going to try it when I get ashore."

"So how do you think of the food for the past two days?"

"It's okay, but I think the fish is delicious sometimes, and sometimes it tastes a little worse."

"If you want to eat good fish, don't go into the kitchen again."

"What does it matter to me whether the fish is good or not?" Xiao Yao thought that Xiying was afraid that she would always go into the kitchen, and if she went back to Kyoto, her mother would know about it, and it would be difficult to explain it.

"I just listened to the boat lady talking to others...... so Xiying learned from everyone the conversation between the two people she heard.

"Haha, haha, if you go into the kitchen in the future, your grandfather will know without asking anyone, because once the taste of the fish is not right one day, it must be that you have gone to steal the master again." Old Man Tong laughed very happily, his beard curled and he couldn't stop.

"Ping'an, the second brother is going to find a notebook tomorrow, write down all the interesting things that happened to you along the way, and tell your father and mother when you get home, and the second aunt will listen to them." Xiao Yi said with a smile.

"Sister, you are so powerful, you are so likable if you lose a tooth in the future, then you will lose another tooth in the future, and you will not be able to charm the boat girl!" Xiao Yuan shook his head and said.

Licking the new teeth that had already emerged, Xiao Yao turned his head and ignored the group of gloating.

From that day on, Xiao Yao really didn't go to the boat lady to learn how to make fish, she didn't realize how delicious the food was, anyway, she was satisfied that she didn't have to bear the charge of cooking and destroying fish again.

After another two days, the ship docked, and it was said that from here it would be possible to walk for two more days to the uncle's house.

After more than ten days on the ship, we were finally able to land, and after discussing it, we decided to rest for a day before setting off.

Compared with the wharf when the ship was boarded, it was many times more prosperous, and the carriages came and went, one after another; Restaurants and teahouses are lined up one after another, and merchants wearing silk and satin abound......

"Let's go shopping." Xiao Yuan, whose eyes had long been drifting away, begged Xiao Yi to come.

"There are so many people, I can't take care of you two alone!" Xiao Yi knew that his grandfather and grandmother would definitely take time to rest and would never go shopping, his cousin and sister-in-law would accompany him, and the rest of his group of people who were not familiar with life would go anywhere!

"Tuk, tuk, tuk" knocked on the door.

Qing Fang opened the door and saw Tong Jinsheng, who had already changed his clothes, standing outside.

"Cousin." Xiao Yi stood up to greet him.

"I'll take you out for a walk, there are a lot of special snacks here, and there are trinkets that girls like, pearls, shells and feathers, in short, it's completely different from what is sold in Kyoto." Tong Jinsheng dutifully introduced.

"So what are you waiting for, let's go!" As soon as he heard that there was a snack, Xiao Yuan didn't want to wait any longer.

Xiao Yao took the initiative to take Tong Jinsheng's hand, he will be in his hands today, Xiao Yuan proudly walked towards Xiao Yi like a little princess, and handed over the handle to save face.

"It is my brother's honor to have the opportunity to take care of Miss Xiao Er, thank you for looking down on the little one." Xiao Yi teased.

"Opportunities don't come easily, you have to learn to cherish them, you know?"

"You know, the little one must be cherished."

Let's talk about a few people who went downstairs during the commotion and saw something pleasing to the eye, whether it was useful or not, Xiao Yuan wanted to buy it, but Xiao Yao basically only looked at it and didn't buy it. Anyway, Miss Xiao Er, why are you going to use it when you buy such a lot of things!

"There is a bookstore, I want to find two travelogues, cousin, second brother, let's go in and see if it's successful." Xiao Yao begged for the first time since she went out, Xiao Yi smiled dotingly at her sister, took her hand and walked in.

"Brother Tong, is that you?"

Tong Jinsheng, who just wanted to catch up with his cousin, was stopped, and when he looked back, it was Tang Hao, the third son of Tang Tongju's family, who was not very old, but he was a famous prodigy in Suzhou, and he was beautiful. This little boy with a family background, a brain, and a good look no longer knows how many people are worried about him in Suzhou City.

"It turned out to be Tang Gongzi, why are you here." Both of them live in the city of Suzhou, and they were surprised to meet each other here.

"I'm here to be a guest at my uncle's house." Tang Hao replied politely that their parents were colleagues, but the two families did not have much contact, because Tong Guangyu had just been transferred, and they were still only in a relationship of meeting and saying hello.

"I'll accompany my cousin, my cousin to the bookstore."

"I'd like to buy a few books, let's go in together."

"Okay, let's go together!"

"Brother Tong, please first."

When they entered, Xiao Yi was chatting with the owner of the bookstore, Xiao Yi learned about the local customs from the boss, and the boss would ask some questions about Kyoto. Xiao Yuan sat at a large table and fiddled with the small toys he bought, and Xiao Yao was already fascinated by a book in his hand.

"Childe, look there." Yan Bo lightly touched Tang Hao's arm, Tang Hao looked in the direction indicated by the little girl, and happened to see Xiao Yao reading seriously. The little girl, her eyes are lowered, her thick eyelashes are stirring up and down like butterfly wings, her skin is as smooth as the first snow is more delicate than that of a Jiangnan woman, and her cherry pink lips are like two petals, sometimes lightly opened, sometimes slightly pouted.

Tang Hao retracted his gaze with difficulty, although the other party was not big, but after all, he was a girl, and as a decent gentleman, he should not stare at others and look endless.

"Ping'an, have you chosen, Ruyi quickly put away the things, let's go back to the inn after a while." Xiao Yi ordered.

"That's fine." Xiao Yao closed the travelogue in his hand, walked to the payment counter, raised his head, and motioned for Xiao Yi to pay the bill.

"Hey! I also understand that I went to Suzhou this time to be a servant for the two of you, pay the bills, take things, and hug Miss Xiaoer. ”

Xiao Yao just wanted to speak, but seeing that there were two more strangers in front of him, he subconsciously covered his mouth before he spoke: "Now you know why your mother sent you instead of the third brother!" After saying that, he winked playfully.

Tang Hao couldn't control himself, and looked at Xiao Yao again, this son and young lady were not locals at first glance, their accents were wrong, and their clothes were different. Could it be that they are the cousins and cousins that Brother Tong said, most of the relatives of the Tong family are in Kyoto, could these people be from Kyoto?

Yan Bo's eyes followed Xiao Yao's figure, this little girl was so good-looking, although he didn't know why the little girl kept covering her mouth, but the moment she came over just now, it was enough for people to see her face clearly. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the first time I have seen such a good-looking little girl after living in Suzhou for so many years!

Yanbo has always thought that there are very few young ladies in Suzhou who can match their own sons, what is the second miss of the Zhang family, who is known as the talented lady of Suzhou, and what is the eldest lady of General Wu's family, who is both civil and military, they are not worthy of lifting shoes for the son, and there is no such young lady from nowhere today and the son are right!

If she is a young lady from a big official family in Beijing, if her knowledge is as outstanding as her appearance, then it is just right for her own son-in-law.

"You!" Xiao Yi was used to being bullied by her sister, and she was reluctant to talk about her, so she had to shake her head helplessly.

"I'll introduce you to you." Seeing Tang Hao coming over, Tong Jinsheng hurriedly spoke.

"This is my cousin's surname Xiao, from Kyoto, this is the third son of Tang Tongju's family, and our fathers are colleagues."

"Xiao Gongzi is good."

"Tang Gongzi is polite."

"I'm tired, can we find a restaurant to rest?" Xiao Yuan actually wanted to say that she was hungry, but she always had to maintain a ladylike image in front of strangers, so she temporarily changed her words.

"I want to go back to the inn." Xiao Yao lowered her head and said, it is too hard for her to maintain the image of a lady, it is better to go back to the inn, say what you want, and play if you want.

"We should also go back to the inn, only after resting will we have the spirit to go on the road tomorrow." Tong Jinsheng remembered his grandfather, grandmother, and wife in the inn, so he was very much in favor of his little cousin's proposal.

"I ......" Xiao Yuan vaguely pointed to his stomach and said good snacks! Say good about the special dishes! I didn't want to leave!

"I've asked Qingfang to buy them, and when we get back to the inn, you'll be able to eat snacks and specialties." Along the way, Xiao Yi has already figured out her cousin's temper and understood her preferences, this is a simple, happy little girl, as long as there is food, there is play, and everything else is easy to discuss.

"Then go back! I miss my grandfather and grandmother. "What a sensible child you say! In fact, everyone knows what she is thinking.

"Second brother, for the sake of your understanding, I will reward you for carrying me back to the inn." Xiao Yuan was more empathetic.

"Second Miss Xiao, my brother hasn't eaten enough." The meaning is self-evident, people who haven't eaten enough can't carry the second miss of the Xiao family at all.

"Cousin, let's go." Xiao Yao ignored the two people who were still bargaining, pulled up her cousin and left.

Tang Hao, who had never been ignored like this, wanted to be angry, but when he thought of that little girl, he couldn't get angry, he was very strange, what was wrong with him!
